Sidley Austin LLP is litigation counsel to nearly half of the Fortune 100 companies in America. The firm is a leading trial and appellate litigation firm whose lawyers have, as private practitioners, briefed and argued more cases before the U.S. Supreme Court than any other law firm. The head of the Appellate Practice, Carter Phillips, recently argued his 54th case before the Supreme Court.

Sidley takes great pride in the culture of collegiality that it has fostered and maintained across its many offices. Lawyers at all levels treat each other, and staff members, with a friendly and genuine respect. This atmosphere makes it a pleasure to come to work in the morning, and takes the edge off staying late at night when that is necessary. It also enables the Firm to deliver the highest quality legal services. Sidley lawyers place a premium on helping each other out, lending assistance and experience on projects that can span multiple offices and practice areas. We believe this culture of respect and cooperation sets us apart from many other firms, and enhances the professional experience and satisfaction of our lawyers.

The leadership of Sidley Austin LLP in today's international legal community is demonstrated in the strength of our practices, in the quality of our lawyers and clients, and in our enduring commitment to serve our clients and our communities. Across the country and around the world, our lawyers work together at the cutting edge of the law, serving as advisors, deal makers and advocates to help our clients develop and implement successful business strategies, minimize risks and prevail in litigation. We seek men and women with well-rounded backgrounds, whose academic achievements indicate an ability to do superior legal work. Sidley lawyers come from diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds, and many have advanced degrees in the humanities, sciences and technical fields related to their practices.
